Send Her Back
I would like to thank NetGalley and Munashe Kaseke for a advanced readers copy of this book.
The book is an amalgamation of sixteen short stories which are set around the perspective of Zimbabwean women both in their own country and immigrants of USA. The stories are pretty straightforward leaving the reader in a turmoil of emotions mainly anger to either the main character or their situation.
Few of my favourite stories are NOT SO MICRO, where a person is defined by their skin colour. UNSEEN where the main character draws attention by acting out so she can have equal rights as her brothers. THE COLLECTOR OF DEGREES relating to the struggles of an overseas student.
In her book Munashe explores some hard hitting subjects like displacement, identity, misogyny, racism and a sense of being belonged. All the stories were very touching and thought provoking. They weren’t all happy endings or sad ending but they were realistic and you could resonate with these stories, either the characters or the situations they were in.
I really enjoyed reading these short stories, I loved Munashe writing style how she created unique situations for each character. Eagerly waiting for the authors next book.
